The water main on West Main St.

The water main on West Main St. was laid number of years ago, when there was only few houses there. Last week the water company commenced digging up the pipe preparatory to substituting a larger main, when the discovery was made that for long dis tance the new concrete sidewalk had been built directly over the pipe. In order to save the sidewalk the water company commercially decided to abandon the old line and take new route, although it will cost them large outlay of time and money, as for quite distance the new route must pass through solid rock, every foot of which must be blasted out
 John D. Burns, who had been at work in the Warner House stables for month or so, took trip to Winsted last week, and getting full of "no- license" took a notion to ride, and finding horse hitched in front of the Hurlbut bank, he started without even asking the permission of the owner, and evidently thinking the animal was hungry drove around to the Boards ley House stables and ordered him put out, saying that he would call for him at an early hour in the morning, but the owner of the rig got there little ahead of Mir Burns, and the consequence is the young man was arrested for horse stealing and is at present domi- ciled in Litchfield jail.

 The Japanese Tea given last Fri day evening, by the young ladies mission circle, at V. l. A. hall, proved successful entertainment, also a novel affair. Everything was "done up" Japanese. The hall was tastefully trimmed and lighted with Japanese lanterns. The walters were attired in fanciful Japanese costumes, and all who partook of the "tea" were pre- sented with handsome cup and saul cer. One pleasing and interesting fea- ture of the entertainment was the ren- dering of selections from the Little Tycoon" an American and Japanese Comic Opera, composed by Willard Spencer. a brother of MT Earnest Pease, the artist. The Japanese idea originated with MT Spencer and the manuscript of Little Tycoon was writ ten before Mikado was thought of. The music throughout the opera is just delightful and exquisite, and takes with the popular ear as quickly as Pinafore or Patience.
